INTilUDCCTOIlY NOTE,

I have endeo-vored, as occasional leisure and opportu-
nity would allow me to indulge my curiosity, co ascertain

, the names and history of my paternal kindred. The
annexed catalog'ie is one of the results of my inquiries.
[t is mainly designed to be a register of the names f)f the
descendants of Thomas Watkins, of fhickahomony, (my
paternal grandfather) and of his youngest brother, Benja-
min VVatkins, of Chesterfield, and is printed only for cir-
culation among my friends. 1 regret that I have not been
able to learn the descendants of the brothers and sisters

. of these ancesrors, but hope that this information may be
obtained at some future time. I have supposed that some
interest would be imparted to this paper, by recording a
few of the mnmorials of the virtues nnd history of some of
our ancestors, a?id I have therefore prefixed this intro-
ductory note.

The extremely migratory charficter of the early settlers
of Virginia, am] che absence of parish, and even of family
registers, render success in genealogical investigations, al-
most impossible, These fMCts will, in part, account for the
defects and imp*-^rfections of this paper; and ! do nc->t knov/
that my own note? would have gone to the printer except

, that i am induced fo believe. aiid hope from the encour-
aging interest 'vhicli some of my kinsmen have manifested
in my humble elfort to preser\-e the memory of at least the
«^z."/c'.y of the kindred, that the information necessary t(.
• complete the catalogue and notes may be hereafter fur-
nish.ed. anci ihe defects in the papf^r f>e supplied, and its

'-■■': errors corrected in a future edition.

The tradition that the Watkins family is of Welsh ori-
gin is, T doubt not, authentic: and I h.ive nsccrtained one
or two facts, wfiicw induce me to believe tliat our ances-
tors \vcre, as 1 have often heard, tray-viakers. The earliest
record of the name 1 meet wich is th.at of Jairie.s Watkins,

i 'labourer.' (see r Smitli's flist, of Va.. p. i72W>ne of tla.^

4 A CATALOGUE OF THE DESCEND.v NTS

CKnigrants in the Phoetiix, about ICoy or '?, and ^vho
sfcms to have generally accompanied V'aptaine John
Smith" in his adventures and voyages of discover}^ "of
the Cliisapeack Bay,"' and elsewiiere, Si>me have sup-
posed that we arc descendeci Irom tins .]:!ir,es. My ^^aiher
(Mr. Henry E. Watkins) tells me 'S^ ^ {\\&.l\' \va^ a tradition
in the family, ofrencd mentioned i ni.:, f.^.'h.er znd otjicrs,
thnt two brothers emigrated t', V ■;•■.•. .rom Wales and
tiiat the one settled near Richmo;;, ;>'.u.! he orhci on the
liappahannock. A Mr. Dmv^! " itknis tf Marvlarid.
often visited my grjtndfather ( Nj. i Junce-^^ Watkins), and
resembled him in apjtear.^nctr. Thc}' call ".;ch other cous-
in but never could trace the reiatton^iiip. Tnere are sev-
eral families of the name. resiJinj^ i.'; Pov/hatan, Appomat-
tox, Pittsylvania, and elsewhere mi \a. . wYu) r;re supposed
to be connected with those nici; i ^>iU'd in the annexed cat-
alogue. I regret that I have iv-.'. been .ible to ascertain
the connection.

Dr. Foote in his "Sketches of Vh.,'" (p. J 38) rc-feis to a
]")resentment made in 1743 bv the Grand Jury of the then
C»eneral Court of Virginia, of erne ■ThoiTias \\'.'-.ikin3, -.r,'!
of Kdward Watkins, of the parish and Couniy of ii/.riccs
for reflecting on the Established Religion.' It may be
that the tarly records of the General Court, or some of the
('ourts of <"he Eastern counties, (to which I have not had
access), might discover to us whether this Edward was
not the grandfather of Tliomas of C'hickahomony rcterred
to below. •

'i'he common ancestor, from w hom tiiose mentioned in
the annexed catalogue sprung, wa.s Thomas Watkins. He
re.^.idcd en Swift , Creek, in Powhiitan County, \''irginia,
then Cumberland County. My only knov>ledge of him is
derived from his will, which was recorded from the County
Court of Cumberland at the ,Iune term of the Court in the
year 1760. and bears" date in March of ihe same year.
From that paper I ascertain thai he had son^ and daugh-
ters as follows, viz, ^

1. SUSA^•^•AH WooD.^ON is mentioned b) the testator
as his daughter.

2. Mary WoobSON, v.dfe of John Woodson, of Gooch-

ascertained nothing larthcr than what we learn from the
will.

In 1780 '82 Thomas Watkins made an earnest appeal to
the pntrii:)tism cf his neighbors and youtdifui companions,
to rendci- their aid in achieving- the liberties of their coun-
try. By his successful efforts a troop of xoiunteer ^cavalr>'
was organized in T'^irict' ICdward. and he vas elected ijs
captain. He offered his cosnpany t' fiien. l.ee, and de-

proposition. Reserved under Gen. Gi-een^. and at Guil-

on the occasion, and authentic anecdotes have been pre-
served of their bold, dwrinj^ captain, who was ofteji seen
on the field, insrnring, by his conduct and. h'-^ words, adtb
courage, the spirits of a dL'^hearte;:ed soldier}-, and. in suv-
j:i^ie combat he won laurels. C(d. Washing-ton v. rote Capt.
Watkins a letter, after the Act.io!\ at (iuilford. in which
the conduct of the Prince F^dward troop and their con^-

which had caused him jruich unhappiness, but winch he ha;.l
until then concealed from his friends. He stated that in a

British officer, the latter asked for "quarter," but, m Ins

Of THOMAS WATKIN'S. 13

John Vlorris, of jllinois, and Mrri. Betsey Craig, of Ken-
tucky'.

V. BETSEY VV ATKINS is supposed to have been the
oldest of the dau^^hters. vShe died before her father and
v/as not known to any of the present generation. Ali I
have been able to learn of her history from any of her^
descendants is, that she married Nathaniel Massie,'bf
Goochland, a most respected gentleman of high character,
who manifested in the early and eventful period of his
country's history, great patriotism. He held an office in
{he revohi*"ioT-ary arniy, ranking as Colonel. Sons of his
descendants have attained eminence in Ohio and the
West, . _

VI. SUSANNA WATKINS was the name of another
daughter, i-ihe married Col. \Vm. Morton, of Staunton
River, ('harlotte, on the 29th October, 1764. This excel-
lent woman i^ still rem.ymbered with great veneration and
affection by the old p'-ople of the countr}', and was be-
lovHd for her devoted piety, uniformly exhibited di'.ring a
long and consistent life. Distinguished for the **meek
and qniet spirit," .vhich so beautifully ndorned her life,
lier virtues siione m.jst conspicuously al Jiome, and to her
husband and children siie was of priceless value. iVut it
.Mrs. Morton had been a v/ovnan of no marked and dis-
tinctive character, th.e alliance with Col. Morton brought-
mucii honor to her name. He must have been an extra-
ordinary man. rie seems to have held som.e office, v/hile
a Vijung man, which called him occasionally to Williams-
burg, the then seat of government of Virginia. On one
of these jourr^eys, he called at the residence of Thomas
'»\"atkins of Chickahomony. and the acquaintance uith his
daughter resulted in their marriage. He settled on the
Staunton River, at the plantation now (in KS52) occupied
bv his y-randson. He enlisted in the patriotic service of
his country, and exhibited muc/i ga!ianti-\ at the battle of
Guilford C. 11. lie was /ifter.vards a faithful nnd useful
justice of \\\{i I'eace in Charlotte County; and on one
occa>^ion refused to vote for the nomitiation to the execu-
tive of \'!rgin!a. for a militia olhcer to be commissioned as
a major, 'j'hc othcer demanded his reason; Col. M. told

14

A CATAi.OGUi: OV THE [)ESC'KM)ANTS

hirn, ''that when he ran at Guilford from the enemy's tire,
he {Col. M ) ///rtnvhi/ him back into the lines.'' A per-
.sonal dilliciilty was apprehended by the friends; atvd when
someone anked the Colonel if lie did not feel some apprc-
Iien.sions for iiis safety, in makin*^^ so grave a charge, he
promptly replied, '•no, I th.rashed hitn once, and can do it
again it neces>ary." The charge caused n lawsuit; the
Colonel hnd son^e difTiculty in obtaining the proof of the
alleged slander, but \vhen he was full}' sustained by an old
soldier who 'A itncsscd the scene, the prosecution of the
suit vvas abandoned. Few men were held in higher venera-
tion and regard, 'oy all, young and old, tlian Col Morton;
and .mainly for his piety and benevolence, and for all these
high and ennobling virtues which make up and complete
tfie character of the "good citizens." As an evidence ot
his exceeding kindness of heart, no love of profits could
induce hirn to sell corn to the poor beyond the lowest
market price, during a season when, from great scnrcity
in the country, corn wa« commanding a very high price.
And at such times he liberally supplied the wants of the
extremely poor, without price. In fhe devfiof>ment of
wonderful sagacity of mind, Ctil. M. exceeded any man of
whom 1 have ever heard: and especially in ferreting out
crime. He vvas emphatically a "terror to e\'il doers,"
The various nnd authentic anecdotes of his r.kill, at tracing
others by * /njt^^/;/_.f ' them, arc most vv'onderfu!. Among
the many facts which are lold of him in thi.s particular, I
mention one. A riding horse was stolen, while the con-
gregation were engaged in public worship, on .some ncca-
-sion at Rriery ('hurcli. Col. Morton followed the track of
the horse into North Carolina; the thief evidently designed
to prevent pursuit, if practicable, by often leaving; the
direct road; but he could n«>t evade the Cnjonel. He
pursued him, by following the horse's track, and without
aid, he apprehended hinV The thief was brou^^lit back to
Virginia, and convicted and punished.

The Presbyterian church had few more useful, con-
sistent, and zealous, and wise members ttian Col, Morton;
he wa.s, for a long period, a Ruling Elder of tliC denomi-
nation.

Ol lllOMAS WATKINS.

Mrs. Morton died some years before her husbaiid. Very
numerous descendants survived thf-m; their children and
j^rand children are among the most honorable and re-
spected in the commonwealth, vvhose useful lives illustrate
the benefits of the examples and counsels ol:' tht^ir excel-
lent ancestors.

VII. SALLY WATKINS was another daotjhter of
Thomas VVatkins of ("hickahomcrty- She married Capt..
j((hn Spencer, of Tharlotte. She too was eminent for her
devoted piety and sound sense. She led a very retired
and noiseless life, contr-nted at home, and devotii-CT her
time and attention to the training of her children. How
successful she whs in accomplishing this f^ood wurk was
happily iliustrated in the lives of iier children, two of
whom it haw been ruy good forfune to know, viz: ('apt.
Thomas Cole Spencer, who died some few years sincf ,
leaving to hin amiable famii}' a name synonymous with all
that is virtuous and good. • 1 have seldom known more
really kind hearted christian gentlemen than these two
respecct'd broti:ers. Tht-ir sisters emigrated to the South,
carrying in good and honest hearts the seeds of holy
u i.-^dom sown bv a mothers hand brin'nng forth in their
hv'cs the matured fruits of righteousness. •

VIFL MARY VVATKINS. another daughter, married
Mr. Stephen I'ankey, an Inspector of Tobacco at Man-
chester. They died before most of the generation wa^
born, and I have learned but few particulars of them.
They were noted, for iheir affectionate regard to .Vlrs.
I'ap.key's relations; and Mr. Pankey enjoyed in an eminent
degree, the respect and confidence of rhe public. Their
descendants reside ma'nly in .Arkansas, where they lead
useful and h^norMble lives, some of them having rendered
efficient and value'.! service to their Commonwealth.

IX. NAMCY W.A.TKINS, another daughter, married
Mr. Smith Blakey. of Henrico, — a hij^hly honorable man,
a ho by ;^reat industry and straightforward hone'^ty ac-
quired an am[jle fortune. He manifested great gener-
osity and kindness to his wife's relatives, very liberally
aiddng seme of Uuur., and otherwise promoting (heir
interests. * He hn.d only two children; one of whom

(ThonKis) was killed b)' ;^ fall from a Iiorse, the orlier.
(Gcot'i^e) left but few dcscentiants. The la^t son. in
miiny points of character, resembled his ancestors, and in
appearance and habits wos very much a 'W'atkins.'

X, JANE WATKINS was the name of another
(hui^htcr She married Charles Hundley. The only
member of this branch of the family whom I have ever
known, wp.s Joel Hundley, of Springheld, Kentucky, a
soldier in the late Mexican war, and a very worthy and
honest man, 1 hope, if the ('atHloj^ue ever goen to «i
second edition, that \.\\v defects in this note will be
supplied.

XI. PRUDENCE WATKiXS was the youngest child
of Thomas Watkins of ('hickahom;>ny, She married W'm
Royster, of Goochland, — a gentlcrnnn of great worth. Aii
I can learn of his wife is. that i^he was ^^reatly beloved by
her kindred, and by all \vho knew her. It ha.s been mv
good fortune to have kno'.vn some of l:ier descendants, and
I regret that 1 do not know 'Jicm all.

To my kinsmen, let me sa\- in conclusion of this note, 1
respectfully dedicate this very huir.ble attempt to keep
alive tlie remetr.brance of the names of the members ;tf (lie
various families with which \vc jire connected. 1 hope
thsy will take the trouble to send me for a future edition,
corrections of the errors which ! know will be found in
these pages. I was dependent upon correspondence f!>r
much of the information attempted to be given, and no
doubt have made mistakes in transcribing names.

i will frankly confess that curiosity first yjrom.pted me
to these investigations. I had often heard, thut there
was a m:irked resemblance, personal and intellectual,
betvv'pcn the vaJ'iou.s members of the family, and I desire
to ascertain the fact in relation to this allegation Thi.<;
little pam.pii'.c-t has cost me some labor and expense bur
i shall feel amply reinunerated, if it shall at all ■ confirm
the truth of the inspired les.son, more wi.se than all that
human philosophy can teach, that, "a ,;n>(?i7 name is rather
to be chosen than great great riches."

member him as the very embodiment of all that wa-i
generous and noble. His brother, Judge \Vm. Lei.^h,
'survives him, and resides in Ilalitax Co., Va. It will be
nu violation, i trust, of g-ooa* taste to say of him, that tor
almost of a quarter of a century in v/hich he has been the
Judge of the Halifax Circuit, he has discharged each and
every of his duties with a fidelity and ability equal to aii>
other man in V'irginia, and has won, by universal consent,
the title to that of "a just and upright Judge.''
